Sky Q viewers are being treated to a big update this month and it’s not just the popular set-top box that’s getting a bunch of new features. The blockbuster April upgrade, which is rolling out now, has some fun new features for the Sky Q box, while Sky is also improving the experience on its Sky Go companion app for iPhone and iPad owners. On the TV, your iPad might look somewhat low-res because its display is being upscaled to a much larger display, but your iPad will send video and photos to the TV at the best possible resolution. This handy app enables iPod touch, iPad and iPhone owners to get complete access to SKY’s electronic programme guide. Featuring daily must-see picks from our programming team showcasing some of the best content on the planet, it also has listings for every channel on TV. Sky Go: Sky TV customers only. Selected live channels and on demand content available in line with your Sky TV subscription at no extra cost. Streamed via broadband/3G/4G/Wi-Fi (charges may apply). Available on registered compatible devices (content may vary). Some live TV programmes will be unavailable (visit go.sky.com). I have tried to mirror my sky go app on my iPad to my Samsung series 5smart tv using the air beam app for Samsung smart tv. I use the same wireless system for both but it won’t work. Alternatively how do I get the sky go app on the smart tv? It’s not there when I search.

Sky Q viewers are being treated to a big update this month and it’s not just the popular set-top box that’s getting a bunch of new features. The blockbuster April upgrade, which is rolling out now, has some fun new features for the Sky Q box, while Sky is also improving the experience on its Sky Go companion app for iPhone and iPad owners.

The refreshed mobile app, which is available to download from Apple’s App Store on both devices from today, adds carousels for Sky Channels and Browse by Category on the main page, which should make it easier to find the show you’re looking for – and jump right into the latest episode.

Until now, iPad and iPhone owners would have to dive into the Browse tab, then click on the Catch Up icon to start digging around for Sky Documentaries, Sky Atlantic, Sky Crime, and other dedicated channels from the satellite broadcaster.

But that’s not all as there’s also a simple trick that makes it faster to find and view your favourite shows – without the need to even launch the Sky Go app. That’s because Sky has now introduced its very own widget on iPhone and iPad, which allows users to easily see suggested new shows and movies, or shortcuts to the content they’ve already started watching and want to continue.

Like most iOS 14 widgets, Sky Go can be resized to suit individual tastes – that means you can view it as a small square or have the service take up almost the entire home screen. On iPhone, you’ll be able to have the Sky Go widget placed in amongst the grid of apps on your homescreen, while on iPad it will be relegated to the dedicated Widgets feed – found with the swipe from left-to-right on your homscreen.

If you fancy giving it a try then it’s simple to add the widget. All you need to do is touch on any app icon or widget on the homescreen until a small menu pops-up. Tap the ‘Edit Homescreen’ and all of your apps will begin to jiggle. Then tap the Add button in the top left-hand corner.

Select the Sky Go widget from the menu and then swipe left or right to choose from the three different widget sizes. Then tap Add Widget.

You should then see Sky Go appear between your apps on the main home screen.

Along with this update on iPhone and iPad, there’s also some changes coming to the Sky Q box itself, including better integration with Disney+. The update means you’ll be able to use the voice search function on your remote to find blockbuster shows on the streaming service. So, a quick tap on the remote and uttering the words “WandaVision” should instantly reveal this show and all of its episodes.

Another bonus is that you will no longer need to dig into the Disney+ app to get the content you want to view with everything appearing on your TV in a more seamless way – it’s now very similar to the experience Sky Q users get when searching for Netflix content and it’s a hugely welcomed update.

Sky has also just announced the introduction of improved voice guidance. With this clever update enabled you will hear spoken descriptions of the menu you’re currently navigating, the option you’ve selected and how you can easily get to your favourite shows and movies.

Sky says that Voice Guidance works in tandem with Voice Search and existing Sky Q accessibility features to make Sky Q even more accessible and enjoyable for all customers. To activate Voice Guidance, simply says “Voice Guidance On” or “Voice Guidance Off” into your Sky Q voice remote.

You sure can. Sky Go supports Airplay from your iPhone, iPad or the browser extension on your Mac. At this stage Sky Go will only be supporting airplay to Apple TV HD - 4th Gen and Apple TV 4K - the latest Gen.

• Make sure your Apple TV & device are on the same wireless network
• Go to your TV and select the source your Apple TV is plugged into
• Select a show/movie on your Sky Go app and press play
• Press the Airplay icon in the bottom right of the Sky Go video controls.

Whatever you chose to play should now be on the big screen!

To get Sky Go on your big screen via Chromecast support, you'll need to open the latest Sky Go app on your iPad or iPhone and make sure you have a Chromecast which is Generation 3 or Ultra.
